COI Collection, The: Vol 1: Police and Thieves RRP 19.99 
Various
The Central Office of Information (COI) was established in April 1946 and has produced thousands of films that reflected the culture and concerns of the nation. Volume 1 of the COI collection tackles crime, juvenile delinquency, policing and the justice system. A variety of styles and genres - story documentary, drama, public information shorts - are employed to deliver crime prevention messages and bolster recruitment in this area.

An accompanying booklet provides comprehensive notes and essays from academics and film historians.
